How to check if a ticket has been booked by ticket number

Booking air tickets online is a popular and convenient service that allows people to buy plane tickets to any corner of the planet without leaving their homes.

This saves time: no need to stand at the ticket office, choose the appropriate flight and class. With the emergence of such an innovation, many related questions arose, for example, how to check an electronic plane ticket by its number, last name, etc. An inexperienced person can make a mistake when entering passport data or e-mail information. Therefore, it is important to know how to check the air ticket reservation, the correctness of the information, and how in this case the received itinerary receipt can help.

What you may need to check

Having made a purchase of an air ticket online, people often receive an electronic copy or an itinerary receipt in return. They contain the passenger's personal data, a special booking code, a detailed itinerary and information about the planned flight (flight, date of departure and arrival, airline, class, etc.).

What documents and data may be needed when checking the booking of air tickets:

Special reservation code indicated in the itinerary receipt;
The surname of the person in whose name the purchased ticket is issued, spelled out in Latin as in the passport;
The email address through which the purchase was made.

If you have not received a copy of the itinerary receipt, you can find it through your personal account on the website where the order was booked. To access the data, you can also use the link from the received letter and enter the specified access code.

Note! If you have already bought an electronic ticket, and you received a receipt with data on booking a flight, then first of all you need to check whether the passenger's surname, flight number and booking code are indicated there.

What data must be entered in the E-Ticket

Booking a plane ticket via the Internet always requires documentary confirmation. Such a document is an electronic ticket - E-Ticket, which confirms an online purchase. In fact, this is an ordinary check, which details the information about the airline's client and the details of the deal.

All information is stored in the electronic database of the airline, and the buyer receives a document proving the fact of booking and payment. Such receipts contain the following information:

Full name of the flying passenger or surname in English;
Sometimes passport data;
Date, time, country, for example, Russia, city and airport name, flight number and code;
Information about the status of payment for the provided service;
Sequential number of the route sheet;
The cipher code of the reserved seat (if the seat was chosen at the stage of ticket purchase).

To check in for a flight, a passenger just needs to present an air ticket and his passport to an airport employee. After the online checkout procedure, the customer can safely board the aircraft when the boarding is announced.

The client will learn more detailed information about the upcoming flight from the letter sent to the e-mail address indicated by him. It is there that you will be able to find a detailed description of all airports, the date and time of departure, arrival, personal information, a code for verifying data, etc.

It's important to know! When booking an air ticket online, the client must ensure the legality of the received electronic document. A special six-digit code will help in this, allowing you to make sure your seat is reserved before the date of the flight.

How to check your booking

When purchasing air tickets through an Internet resource or in a communication salon, each client pays for it through an electronic invoice. As confirmation of the transaction, he receives a receipt with all the necessary information, such as is indicated on the paper ticket purchased through the airline's ticket office. Unfortunately, such a document is not accompanied by official seals or signs, so there is a high probability that it is possible to actually get a fake, make a ridiculous mistake when entering data, lose your own money and time.

Checking flight reservations is carried out in several ways:

Online check through a special Internet resource;
Fast offline check using the airline's phone number.

In order to make sure that the booking of an air ticket was successful, you need to arm yourself with a route sheet, which has a special 6-digit code, ticket number, client's last name.

Online check options

There are only two possible ways to check online ticket reservations: through the online booking system and on your own on the website of the airline company. To confirm your reservation yourself through the airline's website, for example, s7.ru, you just need to fill in all the fields of a special form (receipt number, last name in English letters) and click the "Check" button.

The second method is not much different from the previous one, the only difference is the transition to the web resource of the booking system through which the air ticket was ordered and with which the selected company cooperates. There are 4 large systems in Russia, this group includes:

Amadeus - check is possible on the official website checkmytrip.com. Such large airlines as S7 Airlines, Ural Airlines cooperate with this system;
Siren - you can buy a ticket and check your reservation on the website myairlines.ru. If a ticket was purchased from Aeroflot or S7 Airlines through Sirena, then the verification of the authenticity of the electronic receipt will not take much time;
Galileo - to check your reservation you need to follow the link viewtrip.com. Here you can easily check your flight reservations for such airlines as Pobeda, Ural Airlines, etc .;
Saber - to check, you need to follow the link.

Note! Often, information about which online booking system was used is indicated on the itinerary. If you were unable to determine through which resource the reservation was made, it is best to use the advice of the airline operator or check each system, which will not take much time.

How to check a booking by booking number

The easiest way to find out if a ticket has been booked is to check the booking number.

The six-digit code can consist of Latin letters and numbers in different order, for example, RWUGEE or 4RPL8C. The first cipher is intended for determining the reservation on the official website of Aeroflot airline aeroflot.ru. The second code is used to view the details of the flight through the online booking system.

It is necessary to enter the passenger's surname in English in the same form as indicated on the electronic itinerary receipt, for example, TUTUROV;
After that, fill in the field where you must indicate the booking or ticket number, consisting of 6 characters;
Sometimes you may need to enter the email address associated with the order.

If all the data is written correctly, and the ticket was indeed booked and paid for, then check the electronic ticket for the plane using the booking number, and you will get acquainted with the flight information after clicking the "View" button. Thanks to this, the passenger will be able to clarify once again which flight was chosen, which Russian or international air carrier provides the flight service, when the date of departure and arrival time is set.

If you want to check an air ticket by ticket number, it is unlikely that such an undertaking will be crowned with success, because not all sales partners are able to provide this service. Most likely, you will need to enter additional information, such as your last name or booking code. But on the official website of the airline, it is quite possible to check the ticket by its number (with additional information, for example, the name of the passenger)

Important! If you ordered an air ticket via the Internet, then during an online check, be sure to pay attention to the "Status" column, it is usually located at the bottom or side of the receipt. It must indicate that payment or flight reservations have been confirmed.

Checking a ticket by last name

After buying an air ticket online, many people are interested in the question of how to find out information about a reservation and check an electronic ticket for an airplane by last name. In fact, it is almost impossible to get acquainted with the data using only the last name. When you call the airline operator, you will need to provide additional information: ticket number, order number or reservation code.

Checking a plane ticket by last name, clarifying the correctness of information through the online service also takes place by entering additional data. Thanks to this, the passenger will be able to verify whether the payment and booking of the electronic ticket has passed, when and how long the flight will take, etc.

If an error is found in the ticket

A similar unfortunate incident can happen to even the most attentive passenger. When checking the itinerary receipt, it may turn out that there was an error in the spelling of passport data, surname or first name. Then a completely logical question arises of what to do in this situation:

If you are unable to check the plane ticket by last name, first of all, you need to call the airline's hotline and clarify if there are any errors when writing personal data;
After that, it will be necessary to make amendments, pay a fine for rewriting the ticket, or the company will completely forgive the mistakes made without any corrections.

If the client makes a mistake in the spelling of the passport number or date of birth, then the airline may make concessions. To fix the problem, we just find the typo and fix it.

Good to know! It so happens that an employee of an airline or a communication salon makes a mistake by swapping the passenger's first and last name. In this case, if you know about the existing problem, having come to the airport, it is imperative to warn the employee about this nuance, so that there are no problems when boarding.
